Molecular dissection of the human antibody response to the structural repeat epitope of Plasmodium falciparumsporozoite from a protected donor (2004)

Chappel, Jonathan A, Rogers, William O, Hoffman, Stephen L, Kang, Angray S

Abstract Background The circumsporozoite surface protein is the primary target of human antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites, these antibodies are predominantly directed to the major...

Persistence of Protective Immunity to Malaria Induced by DNA Priming and Poxvirus Boosting: Characterization of Effector and Memory CD8+-T-Cell Populations (2002)

Sedegah, Martha, Brice, Gary T., Rogers, William O., Doolan, Denise L., Charoenvit, Yupin, Jones, Trevor R., ...

The persistence of immunity to malaria induced in mice by a heterologous DNA priming and poxvirus boosting regimen was characterized. Mice were immunized by priming with DNA vaccine plasmids encoding...

Characterization of the Gene Encoding Sporozoite Surface Protein 2, a Protective Plasmodium yoelii Sporozoite Antigen. (1998)

Rogers, William O., Rogers, Miriam D., Hedstrom, Richard C., Hoffman, Stephen L.

Sporozoite surface protein 2 (SSP2) is a 140-kDa, protective sporozoite surface protein from Plasmodium yoelii distinct from the circumsporozoite protein (CSP). A genomic clone containing the SSP2...

Rogers, William O., Hoffman, Stephen L.

This invention relates to recombinant strains of Leishmania which express foreign proteins, useful for vaccination against infectious diseases. More particularly, this invention relates to strains of...

Immunogenicity and Protective Efficacy of a Plasmodium yoelii Hsp60 DNA Vaccine in BALB/c Mice

Sanchez, Gloria I., Sedegah, Martha, Rogers, William O., Jones, Trevor R., Sacci, John, Witney, Adam, ...

The gene encoding the 60-kDa heat shock protein of Plasmodium yoelii (PyHsp60) was cloned into the VR1012 and VR1020 mammalian expression vectors. Groups of 10 BALB/c mice were immunized...

Multistage Multiantigen Heterologous Prime Boost Vaccine for Plasmodium knowlesi Malaria Provides Partial Protection in Rhesus Macaques

Rogers, William O., Baird, J. Kevin, Kumar, Anita, Tine, John A., Weiss, Walter, Aguiar, João C., ...

A nonhuman primate model for malaria vaccine development allowing reliable, stringent sporozoite challenge and evaluation of both cellular and antibody responses is needed. We therefore constructed a...
